- Synopsis
- A group of criminals scour a secluded country home for a mysterious videotape, and bear witness to scenes of unimaginable terror in this found-footage-style anthology horror film featuring segments from Glenn McQuaid (I SELL THE DEAD), Ti West (HOUSE OF THE DEVIL), Joe Swanberg (SILVER BULLETS), David Bruckner (THE SIGNAL), Adam Wingard (YOU'RE NEXT, and Radio Silence). It seemed like a simple job; all they needed to do was enter the home, find the videotape, and deliver it to their boss. But from the moment they arrived, a sinister tension descended. Gaining access to the house, the young thugs discover a rotting corpse amidst a collection of vintage television sets, and stockpiles of VHS tapes. Somewhere amidst the stacks is the tape they seek, but with each new video they watch, the dread continues to build. The sights that they witness are too horrible for words, but the greatest shock is yet to come.

- 4 stars out of 5 -- "Making the villains both human and spectral is a sly maneuver by cunning scriptwriter Simon Barrett..."— Sara Vizcarrondo (31 Aug 2012, )
- Sight and Sound
- "There is some variety, with the urban night-crawling of Wingard, Bruckner and RADIO SILENCE contrasting with the sunnier country trips of West and MQuaid..."— Kim Newman (1 Feb 2013, )
- Total Film
- "The genius of this horror taster, which features six up-and-coming filmmakers breathing new life into the found-footage genre, is that everyone’s eager to prove themselves, so they all bring their A-game."— Matt Glasby (13 Dec 2012, )
